About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as customers were stocking up on groceries, an announcement crackled over Harris Teeter’s intercom: ‘Attention shoppers—we’ve just received our weekly shipment of talking bananas.’ Customers stopped mid-bagging, eyes wide with wonder. A regular whispered to his neighbor, 'Talking bananas? This must be a prank!' But soon, everyone was listening intently as the bananas chattered away in their tropical accent. The store manager, scratching his head, announced, 'Well, I guess it’s banana day today.' And so began Harris Teeter's most unusual sale: bananas negotiating their own discounts.
2. One day, while a delivery driver was unloading boxes of organic produce, he noticed something odd: all the bananas had suddenly changed color—from yellow to neon pink. Store managers quickly assured everyone it was just a new variety, but rumors spread that Harris Teeter might be testing secret glowing fruits for superpowers. Soon, customers started lining up not for groceries but to see the 'miraculous' fruit. A local blogger even claimed eating one could grant super-speed. Before long, though, the bananas turned back to normal, leaving only confused neighbors and a delivery driver who swore he’d seen them glow.
3. At dawn, when most people were still dreaming, a delivery driver unpacked crates of fresh fruit. Suddenly, a banana whispered something strange into his ear. Curious, he leaned closer, and the banana said, ‘Hey, pal, do you want some free samples?’ The driver smiled, shook his head, and walked away—only to hear another voice from behind: “Next time, maybe?” Turns out, it was just an overly talkative apple trying to get noticed.
4. Late one night, when only the night manager was around, a strange humming noise started coming from the refrigerated section. Everyone assumed it was just the cooling units, but the sound grew louder and more insistent. Finally, the manager decided to investigate. As he approached the freezer, the humming stopped abruptly. Turning around, he saw an elderly gentleman smiling and pushing a shopping cart filled with groceries. ‘I heard you were having trouble,’ said the man, ‘so I came to help.’
